Secure the future: for your kids, your art, your legacy

It's simple. The law allows you to care for your self, your loved ones, and your art by using trusts and planning your estate. It's also easy to acquire legal forms for wills and trusts on the internet.

The more complicated part is making sure you have the right documents doing what you want them to do as part of an effective plan. That plan should control your assets and support your loved ones in a way that reflects your values.

We often start by discussing the "trust issues" involved in picking an Executor, Trustee, or Guardian. We then consider taxes, avoiding probate, and at what age kids should receive their inheritance.

Is anyone going to complain? We cover how to avoid prevent conflict.

Do you need an appraisal for that painting?

Do the kids need an incentive to complete college or graduate school?

That's all covered in trust planning too.

There is a lot of power and flexibility in trust and estate planning. But you have to know how to access it and implement it. That's where I can help you.
